Overlord II Wiki Guide

Elf Rebellion

Around the time you're exploring the Wastelands, an Elven rebellion breaks out in Everlight. If you've dominated the 80 villagers already, the remaining 20 villagers can be potentially killed during this side mission. Make a back-up save before attempting this, or you'll want to commit ritual suicide if you screw up.

You will need to teleport to gate 3 of Everlight Town. This will be the closest gate to the area you need to unlock. Otherwise, you can go around the barricades by looking for alternate routes or by blowing up the explosive barrels nearby.

The entrance to the elf quarter of Everlight is north of the center gate where the horde size upgrade was. Blow the gate with fireballs and hit the village carefully. Keep minions back until you know who's throwing what.

The elf villagers can be killed by your minions and they throw the explosive bombs. The poison bomb throwers do not count against the villager count, so use green minions to kill them (they are immune to the gas bomb). When you hear the hiss and explosion of regular bombs, keep your minions back from the action (banner) and see if you can bring down the tower with one bomb.

Villagers should only die if they drop into the pit (off the walkway) but not from falls. Once the villagers are in range of your domination spell, enslave them quickly so you can count them to your quota.

The final few elf villagers in the treehouse may be the only ones you need for the 100 villager quota. If you are killing them, you can simply use red minions to kill them all. However, if you need to dominate them, you need to lure their bombs away.

Take one or two spider riders (more minions will make them a higher priority when the A.I. throws bombs) and have them guard the wall of webbing near the treehouses. Since the riders are on a vertical wall, the bombs should never harm them, and that allows your Overlord to close the gap.

When a villager panic runs to the edge of the treehouse, that's the bare minimum range for the Evil Presence spell to work. If you put one or two catalysts on the Target aspect, you should be able to enlsave the villager bomber quickly.

No matter if you kill the rest of the bombers or enslave them, once they are all dead or mind-wiped, the rebellion is crushed.
